-# CVE-2026-102633: libexpat 2.8.5-r0; the fix (2.9.0-r0) is only in Alpine edge and not yet backported to Alpine 3.24.
-# Only git depends on libexpat in the image (PHP XML uses libxml2), so exposure is minimal.
-# Track: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=libexpat&branch=v3.24
-# Remove once Alpine 3.24 ships libexpat >= 2.9.0-r0.
